How about Moxie, or Ginger Beer? We need those more than Mango 7-Up.

I didn't realize this was the NYer's humor article until about 4 paragraphs in. Cola marketing is where branding most pointedly becomes self-satire.

Funny thing; i was at club med in december where it was serve yourself at teh drinks fountain. I actually liked 50% diet 50% full fat coke ... so mid coke has at least one customer

So I'm not the only one who calls it "full fat coke" even though there's no fat in it. hmmm.
